Key takeaways

  • If your work is in religious Jewish organisations, education or poverty relief, and it accords with the charity's objects, it fits; organisations whose work falls outside these should not apply.
  • The annual report's typical grant band is about £57,500 to £485,000, with a median of about £120,000, but the largest grant was about £2,200,000, so the band is not a ceiling.
  • The charity accepts requests by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited ones, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
  • Donors recommend institutions for review, and the trustees rely on personal knowledge of an organisation, its representatives, operational efficiency and reputation, and they monitor grant use through meetings, so this is a relationship-led funder.
